Dump started leaking air from one of the rear brakes so we had to limp it to the shop and call off the rest of the day. And I thought we were on a roll. :angry: Hopefully they'll get it fixed up today as I have a few jobs on the books for tomorrow.
 
Shew, 3 bids turned into 5 today and I still have more to look at... Sold 3 out of 5 and I'm still waiting to hear back on one (a big one). Sold some nice jobs today... :)

And I bought my first Husky in over 12 years... Albeit a backpack blower. :hmm3grin2orange:

Bought a Husky 130BT. Nice little light blower with plenty of wind for me. Much better than the old hand held I have been kicking around with for years. Got a Jim Dandy of a price on it too. ;)

I went out by myself this morning, took down the maple in the middle ( not sure what kind it is) and pruned up the sliver to the right.

Hmmm, same thing happened here, finished for the day, dumped my chips where I usually do, hit the binders at my driveway, a bit spongy, park it, yep....brake fluid leaking from the front right. Get under it, only a flex hose. None the less, have a 9 tree removal day tomorrow. Truck isn't going anywhere til I get it fixed, so we are just going to bring the chipper, and another truck pulling the dump trailer to chip into. Dump site is a 5 minute drive (thank goodness) Getting the part made tomorrow and will put it in tomorrow night (have to bleed the brakes as well) Oh well, can't complain, lots on the go!

Home from vacation, but no wraptor today. Called them on the phone, it will take them a week to put it together. He told me his price includes shipping, so I am gonna wait a couple weeks and order it. Hopefully have it by the end of the month. I got 5 appointsments for tomorrow to look at jobs, and one on friday, and waiting for one guy to call me back. Spring is here, when driving threw dc, all the bradford pears are in full bloom. Heres a few pics from the trip. And yes, thats a real ar15 straped to the front fork.

First time for everything.

Doing a big HOA and of course we check the work site and remove target's. A lot of big Aleppo's around these home's.
Well, this home had a Stars and Stripes,(flag), that was over their front door and the guy's took it down so as not to break it during the work. Went well, but they forgot to put the flag back up. Also, it touched the ground and now is desecrated. I hate these call's.
I am buying her a new flag tomorrow.

It became painfully clear that my eldest groundie will never make it through this season. Today was a beatiful day and only 72 and it was a rather easy days work and my dude was having a hard time. His health has been on a decline and its sad to see. I think he knows the writings on the wall. Me n my young buck "carried" him this afternoon. He looked like he felt ashamed. I told him several times not worry about it, as in dont feel bad.But i know he worries about his future. he is just worried in general and for good reason I guess. IDK guys...it sucks. He made some very poor life choices over the years and now its coming back to haunt him. i wish I had a company that was big enough that I could just keep him around for errands and shop cleaner guy. he could grind some stumps....but i cant do it. I cant afford a guy like that. Sucks.

Today I worked my ass off , I :laugh: started @ 5am with chipper knives and then got 60% through a 60" red oak all buried in wires hanging over the house and married together with a buttonwood GRRRRRRRR. then we had our first T ball practice @6pm and a baseball meeting @ the VFW @ 830pm , so its cold pizza and cold beer time ....
 
Started a big job today and climbed my tail off the whole time. Bunch of trees coming down and some trimming all around a pool, can't dump anything.. Man winter really gets me out of shape, I'm soar as hell. Got another long day of it tomorrow too but have another crew and climber coming in to help so it shouldn't be too bad. Made some good progress today
